Cato is still hurt from Rue's death. Even though he didnt know her, I know he is hurt. She was just so small and innocent, and she died in a horrible way. "She was just so small...I cant believe the Capitol thinks this whole thing is entertaining. I mean, if they had to send their kids to a death sentence like the Hunger Games are, they wouldnt be cheering and betting.", he whispers because the whole country can hear him "I know, but what can we do about it? We have to try and win this for wealth and fame", I say. We walk and hunt for a while. "Congratulations, remaining tributes! There has been a rule change, now 2 victors will be crowned if they come from the same district. That is all", says Templesmith. I look into Cato's eyes and realize we might have a chance to love. I run towards him and cling onto him. He kisses me and we laugh. We dance and twirl around. I dont care if it looks stupid. I am just so happy to have a chance to be with Cato forever. I dont care if other tributes hear us. I want them to come. So we can finish this awful game and pretend it was just a bad dream. Then it hits me: Katniss is looking for Peeta. "We have to find Peeta and finish him off before Katniss finds him", I say clearly and powerful "Yes, come on, lets go find Loverboy", he says. We walk through the woods and find the stream. We see Peeta. He is camouflaged. Where did he even get the materials to camouflage himself? "Well loverboy, you made it so far. Very far for a guy from D12. But sucks for you, we are finishing you in fact right now", Cato says with a expression less face. He takes his sword out. Then we see Katniss. She has Glimmer's bow and arrows! She could take us out very easily, so we run. We hide and see her cleaning Peeta up. She gets in a cave."Shit. now how and we going to get her? if we go into the cave, she will shoot her arrows!", I say angrily "Maybe we will just have to stay here and wait until she gets out", Cato says "Ok, but we should find shelter", I say "Can you climb?", Cato asks "Yeah. Look at that tree! its perfect" I say. Cato helps me to get up. Then I sit on a strong and wide branch and wait for Cato. He climbs with our packs and sits beside me. We stare at the cave. We see a silver parachute fall just outside the cave. Katniss gets out of the cave. I am tempted to throw a knife at her, but she is far away. It wouldnt do much damage. Nightfall arrives and I get into the sleeping bag with Cato. I use his strong arm as a pillow. I snuggle close to him. I feel his heart beat. I know it beats for me. Not for Glimmer. Not for Monica. But for me. I giggle and then fall asleep.
